Supreme Commander 2 is the 2010 sequel to the Real-Time Strategy game Supreme Commander. The game takes place twenty five years after the events of Forged Alliance, during which time the Seraphim have been destroyed and humanity has come together in a utopian peace. All is thrown into jeopardy, however, when the president of the coalition is murdered by an unknown party, with the leaders of the United Earth Federation, the Cybran Nation and the Order of the Illuminate blaming each other for the president's murder and taking up arms again.Supreme Commander 2 is notable for having a distinctly less hardcore tone than its predecessors. The story is much more light-hearted than in the previous two games, and contains a great amount of humour. Despite the seeming gravity of the premise, the scale of the story never escalates much, and is mostly a character-driven romp. The game is designed around the idea that the economic crash of 2009 would affect the gaming market—graphics were scaled down to allow the game to work on the Xbox 360, as well as on lower-end PCs, as it was assumed that people would not be able to afford expensive gaming rigs. The maximum map size was reduced and much of the game streamlined and simplified to allow for quicker matches, fitting the controls on a gamepad, a lower entry threshold and to remove focus from the economical micromanagement aspects.Reception of the game at the time was mixed; although Supreme Commander 2 was popular with critics, the game was controversial amongst hardcore fans for its gameplay streamlining, and ultimately the game failed to make the same splash as its predecessors. | |

Instant-Win Condition: Assassination game mode. Justified as units are robots and the commander usually takes a nice piece of his base with him, unless you have done some research. Justified in that the ACU is technically the only manned unit in your army, from which you are commanding (hence Armored Command Unit)—if you die, everything else has nothing to control it. | |

Ironic Name: A very minor example in the final mission of the Illuminate campaign. One of the commanders you're tasked with eliminating never says a word even when he's killed, which is somewhat unusual since almost every other commander has a line or two. His name? Commander Teller (which may or may not be an unintentional reference). | |

| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_2b706ca | comment |
More Dakka: UEF has a research option that adds more more cannon barrels to tanks, artillery, cruisers and battleships. They also get a few upgrades that allow most of their buildings to have turrets and anti-air capability, turning every structure they have into something that can defend itself. They also have three distinct artillery structures,note Technically four, since the Noah fires entire units at its target, but it's different in concept enough to make its exclusion understandable. so expect to deal with quite a lot of bombardment when dealing with them. | |

Experimentals in general are significantly weaker and cheaper compared to the previous games and behave more like an additional unit tier than the game changers they were previously. The sole exception is the original Monkeylord under Awesome, but Impractical above. | |

| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: Surprisingly, the assault bots fall under this trope, despite being amongst the toughest units in the previous game. They can still dish out significant damage, though. The Infinity War Battle Pack DLC also adds the Illuminate Shotja Sniper Bot, which does a lot of initial shot damage but cannot take a hit. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: This is the UEF's aesthetic (though not their gameplay mode, see Faction Calculus below). When they build a building, it looks like it's being constructed by a modern robotic assembly line, most of their units use kinetic weapons like slug-throwers and physical missiles, and they don't have too many fancy tricks up their sleeve. The Cybrans go for a Technology Porn aesthetic, and the Illuminate go for a sort of Crystal Spires and Togas look. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Both Maddox and Thalia participate in destabilizing the alliance, the latter more than the former. They face consequences for this; Maddox just gets an honorable discharge, since he broke ranks as soon as the morally-questionable orders came in. Thalia stuck with it for far longer, and is arrested as a result. Political divisions still exist among the newly reunified humans following the events of Forged Alliance, as the scars of a thousand year long Forever War aren't going to heal within one generation. One major problem is that a large portion of the Aeon were wiped out after siding with the Seraphim, leaving Illuminate citizens a minority in the Coalition. Compounding matters is the UEF has come to dominate Coalition politics both due to their majority population and because they tend to vote however UEF leaders tell them to, having lived for almost a thousand years under a highly regimented military junta. The really ugly side of this shows up during the UEF campaign, as Maddox's wife expresses concerns about attacks against Illuminate citizens, and the moment hostilities break out, all of the Cybran officers on Altair II are immediately arrested and anyone of Illuminate descent end up being attacked later on. | |

Anyone's guess as to what happened to the first clone-son from Supreme Commander, though. | |

Tactical Superweapon Unit | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_53c74613 | comment |
Tactical Superweapon Unit: The game has what ammounts to the Updated Re Release of many of the previous game's super units, and more besides. They require Experimental Gantry structures to deploy from as well. The game features the option to launch them at 50% build capacity (which the game refers to as "launching half-baked") as an emergency measure, in which case, they're riddled with problems and often stall. UEF: The King Kryptor is a giant robot with battleship turrets for Shoulder Cannons and fireball-launcher hands. The Fat Man returns as a pure land battleship, without the bubble shields and factory. The Terror is a King Mook version of their regular gunship. The Mega Fortress is an Airborne Aircraft Carrier with its own compliment of weaponry-most of them pointed at the ground, relying on its fighter compliment to tackle other air threats. The Atantis returns almost unchanged (besides swapping out AA capacity for a bigger deck gun), and is only slightly more expensive then their next most powerful battleship Cybran: The Megalith returns with bigger guns and without its integrated factory and Drop Pod dispenser. The Cybranosaurus Rex can only be called a "Dragon in Powered Armor." The Soul Ripper returns unchanged. The Kraken is a submarine battleship made in imitation of, what else, a giant squid, with a cannon on each tentacle. The Monkey Lord also returns, but is behind a DLC paywall. Aeon (most units are named in the Seraphim Conlang from the first game's Expansion Pack): The Galactic Collossus returns unchanged. The Czar's little brother, the Darkenoid loses its aircraft capacity, but retains the underside quantum laser array. The Urchinow is a superheavy tank referred to as an "Assault Block," which has three big cannons and multiple light guns. The Willfindja is a huge Hover Tank with all its weaponry mounted on twenty or so Attack Drones. The Sooprizer is a large gunship intended for surgical strikes to compliment the Darkenoid. | |

Grey Goo | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_6259dfa3 | comment |
Grey Goo: An early Cybran mission involves you attempting to fight this. A base on a planet has gone haywire and is pumping out tons of mechanized engineers who are themselves constructing ludicrous numbers of anti-air and anti-ground turrets. The surplus engineers attack by capturing and converting your units to their side. The simplest method of dealing with this, though somewhat time-consuming, is to turtle with a wall of turrets until you can build Megaliths or a Navy with long-range bombardment capacity. Once you have units with better attack range than the basic defenses the Engineers construct, winning is inevitable. | |

| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_666648a3 | comment |
Hostile Terraforming: Actually used twice. The first is in the Grey Goo scenario mentioned above. The second is the Shiva machine, which Dr. Brackman speculates to be a sort of planetary-scale molecular rearranger to change planet surfaces to match an alien template. And possibly to create the Seraphim, if he's right about it predating them. For sure it's more advanced than his Cybran-tech ever was. | |

Tech Tree | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_7b4d0c39 | comment |
Tech Tree: Instead of tech tiers like the previous game, the Tech Tree is used to unlock new units, abilities, and structures through research points. This has the benefit of allowing you to upgrade everything instantly just by purchasing the relevant tech. The downside is that there is a ton of things to purchase and you need a lot of research stations to build up points at a meaningful rate. You also gain Tech Points by destroying enemy units, but unless you're killing things constantly, the buildup will not be that fast, which is why you also have to build research stations that slowly generate more research points over time. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: At the end of the second campaign, Thalia Kael realizes that Gauge tricked her into a lot of terrorist acts, by attacking a Cybran military convoy on a humanitarian supply run, releasing the Guardians who are more than just the worst criminals of the Illuminate and UEF, and destroying the Illuminate government research facility and in the end, allow Gauge to obtain a lot of things. Maddox also unfortunately destroyed the holographic shell guarding the entrance to the Shiva terraformer, which Gauge is able to reach easily as a result. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: The second mission of the Cybran campaign. The player travels to a planet with an old Cybran base running a self-maintenance program. The base has some bugs in the code, however, building an excessive number of defensive towers and sending swarms of engineers to capture everything that can be captured. The player nabs some data from the control center and leaves. None of this is ever mentioned again, and bears no relation to the rest of the game except for mechanics. | |

Aeon (most units are named in the Seraphim Conlang from the first game's Expansion Pack): The Galactic Collossus returns unchanged. The Czar's little brother, the Darkenoid loses its aircraft capacity, but retains the underside quantum laser array. The Urchinow is a superheavy tank referred to as an "Assault Block," which has three big cannons and multiple light guns. The Willfindja is a huge Hover Tank with all its weaponry mounted on twenty or so Attack Drones. The Sooprizer is a large gunship intended for surgical strikes to compliment the Darkenoid. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: Although most units start out heavily specialized, they generally have researchable upgrades that allow them to fill multiple roles. For instance, certain factions can upgrade their tanks and assault bots with anti-air guns, obviating the need to build AA-only units. The Cybrans can even mount a gun on their otherwise-helpless Engineers. Some units are still overspecialized, however; the UEF has an anti-air fighter jet and a bomber jet, but no fighter-bombers like the other two sides. | |

Faction Calculus | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_cbc54501 | comment |
Faction Calculus: The UEF is the Powerhouse. They have a lot of artillery (more than any other faction), strong defense towers, and hard-hitting units. They suffer in production, having the most costly mass converter research (five slots down the tree and nearly twice the research points of others) and generally slightly more expensive toys. The Aeon are Subversive. Their defense towers get dedicated shields, which no other faction has, their high-end experimentals are hard to kill, and their units are multi-purposed so they don't need a navy. They even get teleporters to bypass defenses. This is countered by their regular units not being quite as tough. The Cybran end up being the Balanced in this game. They actually have the crappiest defense towers, but this is made up with their mass conversion being tied to their energy generators, which are also more efficient than the other factions. Short version: their production never stops with enough energy on hand. They have one of the quickest-building and most balanced experimentals in the game, which are easily unlocked. They also have the best research centers, meaning they get to top form very fast. Their best experimentals, however, take much longer to build than others, and in the short game can be taken out fairly easily. | |

Lighter and Softer: The game takes itself a lot less seriously than its predecessors. The colors are brighter, unit designs lean more towards novelty and the Rule of Cool and there are quite a few laugh-out-loud moments in the campaigns, especially for the Cybran side. There are still darker moments, but even then, the story never threatens to expand its scope to that of the total galactic war of the previous games. | |

Nerf: Several units return from the previous game, with significant changes: The UEF Fatboy has lost its shield, its anti-aircraft, air-staging, and manufacturing capabilities, its guns are weaker and they fire at half the speed of the old ones. The Illuminate Czar has been renamed the Darkenoid and has lost its anti-aircraft, aircraft-carrying, and manufacturing abilities. The Cybran Megalith is significantly smaller and less heavily armed than its predecessor. It has also lost its manufacturing capability. Experimentals in general are significantly weaker and cheaper compared to the previous games and behave more like an additional unit tier than the game changers they were previously. The sole exception is the original Monkeylord under Awesome, but Impractical above. | |

Suicide Attack | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_f13a0451 | comment |
Suicide Attack: Every Cybran Surface Unit and structure comes equipped with self destruct charges when upgraded, making them walking ordinance instead of cannon fodder. | |

IncrediblyLamePun | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_f2877d9e | comment |
Incredibly Lame Pun: While not quite punny, the names of a fair number of Illuminate units are downright painful when said out loud. Some of the worst offenders are the Airnomo (Air no more), a walking AA battery, the Willfindja (We'll find ya), a massive floating tank that specializes in dispatching submarines, and the Fistoosh (the sound a missile launch makes), a mobile missile launcher. The Infinity War Battle Pack DLC adds the Shotja (Shot ya), a sniper bot with a lot of range that deals a ton of initial shot damage but cannot move quickly, has a very low fire rate, and is very fragile. | |

Hover Tank | |

The Willfindja is a huge Hover Tank with all its weaponry mounted on twenty or so Attack Drones. | |

Brain in a Jar | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_f3fac450 | comment |
Brain in a Jar: Gustav Brackman. Also, humorously, the Cybran experimental research building has a detachable giant brain that can be used to fight. Power of the mind? | |

Forever War | |
| Supreme Commander 2 (Video Game) / int_fbb54ba6 | comment |
Political divisions still exist among the newly reunified humans following the events of Forged Alliance, as the scars of a thousand year long Forever War aren't going to heal within one generation. One major problem is that a large portion of the Aeon were wiped out after siding with the Seraphim, leaving Illuminate citizens a minority in the Coalition. Compounding matters is the UEF has come to dominate Coalition politics both due to their majority population and because they tend to vote however UEF leaders tell them to, having lived for almost a thousand years under a highly regimented military junta. The really ugly side of this shows up during the UEF campaign, as Maddox's wife expresses concerns about attacks against Illuminate citizens, and the moment hostilities break out, all of the Cybran officers on Altair II are immediately arrested and anyone of Illuminate descent end up being attacked later on. | |

Spider Tank | |

Spider Tank: Most of the Cybran units fall under this trope. If you have the right upgrade, it even applies to the ships! | |
